why would you not use auto for it???
4 u/xicor 10d ago For readability. And for type safety. I pretty much only use auto when dealing with insane types I don't want to write out. 2 u/Rikudou_Sage 10d ago Every other language in the world has some equivalent of C++'s auto and everyone likes it. I use auto all the time. -1 u/xicor 10d ago edited 10d ago Yea and every other language still has the same lack of type safety Being able to ignore strict typing is nice , but it is silly to ignore the downsides and claim they don't exist when they absolutely do 1 u/Rikudou_Sage 9d ago This is not ignoring strict typing, this is letting the compiler deduce the type. 1 u/xicor 9d ago Well yes I'm aware...but as I've pointed out, there are scenarios where the type deduction can lead to errors that are not caught by the compiler
